  I am guessing they are trying to avoid Theatrhythm release time. Although the two games are different enough but not to consumers eyes. Since both games are classified as music/rhythm games, Sega know they can't compete with Square's Uematsu collection. However Sega should have push for earlier than Theatrhythm instead of later.
